I was reminded of the original of this song when I saw the article linked below pop up on my news feed a couple of weeks back. Then the original song came up on Spotify today so I read the article and found this 2020 Lockdown version of the song. Love seeing these guys all old...lol. Just made me happy. This song to me is the epitome of the English New Wave movement. I saw them in 1982 at a small venue. My second ever concert...my first being The Who. I was 15 just about to turn 16, I'm guessing....

Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) wanted to know "why did all the Democrats of the Senate vote against my amendment to the legislation that would have prohibited any use of funds to audit Americans with taxable incomes below $400,000 when President Biden's promise was that 'people earning less than $400,000 per year won't pay a penny more in taxes.'" The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office admitted that the just enacted "Inflation Reduction Act" will initiate IRS audits that are projected to result in $20 billion more taxes being collected from people making less that $400,000. Presidential Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that...

(NO search results!) For your edification, I would like to present you with another partial list of things that have been deemed racist and/or white supremacist (the two terms are often interchangeable) in the last few years. The list is growing daily, so this column can only be incomplete. This list is only presented as a public service, so it's up to you – as a proper woke American – to avoid all the things, terms, people, subjects, foods, books, pets, diseases, locations, beverages, fashions and activities that might offend someone because of your white supremacy and privilege (even if...

The outspoken Russian ultranationalist Aleksandr Dugin called on Monday for revenge against Ukraine and for Russia to push on in its invasion, in his first comments since a car bombing killed his daughter. The Russian authorities on Monday blamed Ukraine for organizing the killing of his daughter, Daria Dugina, on Saturday on a highway in an affluent district outside of Moscow. Mr. Dugin, who Russian media reports said was driving in a separate car behind his daughter when the blast went off, said she had been “brutally killed by an explosion in front of my eyes.” He said the attack...

The Cal State system graduates Black students at lower rates than other groups. Students, scholars and advocates say the reasons are myriad.

Every industry is being impacted by inflated costs, but retailers seem to be getting it the worst. Retail Dive recently reported that according to recent report findings by Alignable, a referral network for small business owners, the industry is poised to lose more than half of their companies. Per the findings, nearly half of small business owners, including 59% of retailers, shared they’re at risk of shutting down before winter, a jump from 12% from the 35% that said the same a year ago. It looks even more troubling for minority-owned businesses (52% could be shuttered by fall) and women-owned...

<p>LONDON (AP) — For years, global health officials have used billions of drops of an oral vaccine in a remarkably effective campaign aimed at wiping out polio in its last remaining strongholds — typically, poor, politically unstable corners of the world.</p>

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

Former White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx praised the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for its rare admission of missteps in how the agency responded to COVID-19."A lot of directors would have just tried to tweak [it], and tweaking the agency at this point was not going to be successful," Birx said during an appearance on "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "This is an inflection point." CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky last week ordered a "reset" of the agency, which will focus on creating a faster dissemination of information and response to new health threats. Some...

It was just announced that Kathy Hochul has an amendment to New York's Senate Bill 536 to bring the name of Manhattan into the new era of wokeness. It will sense forth be known simply as Hattan, so that the woke generation won't feel endangered by the "Man" reference.

There were cheers and complaints galore when money first started funneling into Ukraine. It has been normalized now to the point that massive funds being sent over aren't even noticed.. As many of us have been saying since before the first taxpayer dollar was sent to Ukraine for "aid," the money pit is endless. It's no longer making many headlines when massive amounts of money are funneled through Ukraine to fund whatever nefarious plans the globalist elites have for it. Oligarchs are getting paid. Ukraine's corrupt government officials are getting paid. Other nations are being paid by proxy. It's arguably...

The former chaplain of Austin’s fire department says the liberal city dismissed him from his position over a blog that said it is unfair for men to compete against women in sports events — basing its views in the Bible. Now, he’s suing the department. Andrew Fox served as chaplain of the Austin Fire Department from 2013 until last December. Fox had posted a three-part blog, titled “Willy Woke and the Chocolate Factory,” on his personal website, which reportedly has just under 1,000 subscribers. He dedicated the second article to “gender identity and how ridiculous it is becoming,” highlighting “the...

Alexander Dugin, known as ‘Putin’s Rasputin’, had strongly attacked the Kremlin leader shortly before his daughter Darya was blown up in a car bomb. There had been an online campaign to disparage Dugin in the days leading up to the fatal blast it appears was intended for him instead of his daughter. The revelations add to the theory that TV personality and ultranationalist pundit Darya Dugina, 29, was killed by Russian special services or other forces loyal to Putin. ... Today the Russian FSB claimed that the SBU - Kyiv’s special services - were behind the murder and said a...

A woman who falsely accused a taxi driver of raping her showed a "blatant disregard" for him and the reputation of the justice system, a judge said. Laura Hood, 27, claimed Haroon Yousaf, 29, attacked her in the back of his cab after a night out in January 2017. But Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard the taxi's tracker device proved she had lied about the attack. She denied perverting the course of justice but was convicted and jailed for three years. At sentencing, judge Julie Warburton said: "What you did strikes at the very heart of criminal justice. It...

Steven D'Antuono ran the Detroit field office when, trial testimony alleges, it instigated, encouraged and facilitated what the government charges was a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov.

for a likely escalation in Russian attacks following last night’s killing of the daughter of Alexander Dugin – Darya Dugina – by what looked to be a car bomb as she as driving his car home from an event. Based on the details that emerged, many believe it was an assassination attempt on the prominent but deeply controversial Russian political commentator and philosopher himself.

A teacher on TikTok has an order for whites — especially ones in academia: Stop putting others in peril. Ours is an unprecedented era, in which people use phones as soliloquy slingshots to shoot monologues into the ether. Such messages are often edited for polish and delivered as if eager masses are waiting to listen and learn. It’s the new national pastime. And in a recent video shared by Libs Of TikTok, a woman identifying herself as a teacher drops science on America’s — and education’s — poorly pigmented. Starting off, she clangs the community bell: “Okay, white educators. This...
